It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection. These are the times when maps fade, old landmarks crumble and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

Marc Mutty On Leave? Salary of SFMM Director Still Paid by Roman Catholic Church

Until June of this year, Marc Mutty’s job title was Director of Public Affairs for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland. Then his job title switched, and he became the Chair of Stand for Marriage Maine, a group trying to make same-sex marriage against the law in Maine. News reports consistently describe Marc Mutty as “on leave” from his job with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland so he can “work for” Stand for Marriage Maine instead.

Marc Mutty, on leave from his job with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland and chairman of the Stand for Maine Marriage PAC, said he was happy with the fundraising efforts so far, but added that the campaign had just begun.

We are under budget and we need to raise some serious dollars in the next few days and weeks,” said Marc Mutty, who is on leave from his public affairs post with the Catholic Diocese of Portland to work for the campaign.

Is Marc Mutty really “on leave” from his job with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland when he works as the Chair of Stand for Marriage Maine?

I look forward to seeing whether the people of Maine are willing to allow religious groups to impose their beliefs on everyone else, in contradiction to the guarantees of the Constitution of the United States of America. It seems to me that the anti-equality organizations are not behaving in a very patriotic manner.
